How to Tie an Isonychia Parachute

Author, fly tier and blogger Matt Grobert shows his techniques for tying an Isonychia Parachute, using tying materials that complement each other exceedingly well.

Matt uses a size 12 #300 Dai Riki dry fly hook and 6/0 olive Danville thread. As videographer Tim Flagler says, “Although this fly works well on its own, it also works well as an indicator when placed in front of smaller offerings.”
